Abstract

Inequality change can be decomposed simply in terms of per capita income and population changes, using the Gini index. An illustration based on U.S. data for the two intercensus periods 1960-1970 and 1970-1980 is given. This decomposition analysis is also applied to the study of changes in a welfare index originally proposed by Sen.
